This is a doubt regarding comparative degree. Which one is correct in the following following sentences: He is taller than her? or He is taller than she? In my opinion the nominative- 'She' is correct. Using possessive-'her' does not sound good. Because, actually the be verb 'is'in the latter is hidden. In its original form, it should be- He is taller than she is.Can you write like this- He is taller than her is?
